The release of God of War Ragnarök back in 2022 brought with itself an end to the adventure of Kratos and his son in the world of Norse Mythology, and fans have been asking for more ever since. While the studio was considerate enough to deliver fans a free DLC for the game recently, it might not be enough to quench the eagerness of the players waiting for a whole other sequel soon.
Fortunately, good news has appeared around the block as according to certain rumors, Santa Monica, the studio responsible for developing the franchise, has posted new job listings. This potentially indicates how they are gearing up to begin developing the next title in the series soon.
How Atreus Might Be the New Protagonist In The Upcoming God of War Title
As of right now, details of any possible sequel remain unknown to the public. However, one can guess looking at the narration of previous releases where exactly Santa Monica might be planning to lead the storyline next. In GoW Ragnarök, the players got to experience the evolution of Atreus from merely being the protagonist’s son to a significant character with his own separate storyline, and he might become more in a future release.
Anybody who has played the game would know how Atreus, or Loki, according to his Jötunn name, separates from his father to go find the other remaining giants of the world. This particular cliffhanger holds the potential for a spin-off title covering Loki’s journey, which might exactly be what Santa Monica might have opened up job listings for.
It is worth mentioning again how everything remains a speculation for now, and nothing has been confirmed yet. Nonetheless, while a spin-off focusing on the character of Atreus is very much possible, players have also been waiting for Kratos to finally make his way into Egyptian Mythology, something which fans have been anticipating for years.
Fans Eagerly Await The God of War’s Arrival In Egyptian Mythology
The God of War franchise began with the story being set in the world of Greek mythology. We get to witness our main protagonist set on the path of vengeance against Zeus, who happens to be his father as well as the ruler of Mt. Olympus, the home of all the Olympian gods from where they ruled over their kingdom.
Kratos eventually reaches the end of his journey by getting rid of all the gods and leaves Mt. Olympus in ruins. The franchise ultimately gets a refresh in 2018 where the players get to witness the protagonist now in the Norse Mythology, along with his son named Atreus.
As discussed before, the said refresh came to a close back in 2022 when Kratos and Atreus finally defeated Odin, the main antagonist of the series. Fans now eagerly await for our rage-filled God of War to find his way to Egyptian Mythology, which is another major mythology present in the real world, and just begs to be adapted into a fictional world so it can be explored by gamers.
